Notary and registration services get their first price hike in 18 years – Mozambique

VOA Portugues / The First Conservatory for Civil Registration, in Maputo City.

The steady depreciation of the metical, the dynamics of economic and social life and increases in operating costs resulting from digitization are among the reasons given by the authorities for the first increase in the cost of notary and registration services in 18 years.

Procedures relating to car ownership are now more expensive, as are the recognition of documents, according to Fatima Achá Baronet, National Deputy Director of Registry and Notary Services, cited by VOA Portugues.

Baronet said, however, that there are not only cases where rates have remained unchanged, but some new services, such as registration of births and deaths, signature recognition and authentication of copies of original documents, are now exempt.

Customers, however, do not like the increases and say that the new prices are unaffordable.
